Photos: Kim Jong Un lands in Singapore ahead of his June 12 summit with President Trump

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un landed in Singapore today ahead of a summit with U.S. President Donald Trump that could end a nuclear stand-off between the old foes and transform his secretive, impoverished country.

When Trump and Kim meet on the resort island of Sentosa on Tuesday they will be making history having been enemies since the 1950-53 Korean War, the leaders of North Korea and the United States have never met previously or even spoken on the phone.

Kim arrived at Singapore’s Changi Airport after his longest trip overseas as head of state wearing his trademark dark Maoist suit and distinctive high cut hairstyle. He was greeted by Singapore’s foreign minister, Vivian Balakrishnan, who posted a picture on Twitter of him shaking hands with Kim and the message: “Welcomed Chairman Kim Jong Un, who has just arrived in Singapore”.
